The way of the world is full of judgmental people. People size me up and down with their eyes. I am told that my hair is too curly to be white and too straight to be black. People ask me questions as if I owe them an answer—what does my race have anything to do with you—and why do you care. The fact is, race shouldn’t exist—it is not real. It is made up, but race does matter.” Race shouldn’t matter, but it does. In society's eyes, race is stubbornly real. . ✍🏽 Charlena E.

happy #mixedgirlmonday! i wanna give a special shoutout to our girls over at @mixed_in_america! check them out, they're cool af and i love what they're doing to help build a #mixedcommunity. also have you all tried @myheritage_official's AI Time Machine? you upload photos to the app and it will take you back in time & put you in different countries, eras and centuries. the photos are beautiful but some completely missed the mark and didn't look like me at all. this one is one of my favorites. it took me back and made me part of #frenchroyalty. it also took me back in time to africa, britain, ireland and the american frontier like my ancestor's. this is one of my favorite images. should we do a #aitimemachinechallenge? who would be interested? 🤩👑 #happymixedgirlmonday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly7Nknuqzt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it, so I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other. And acting does challenge me to address those particular issues. . ✍🏽Wentworth Miller . #mixedpeople #mixité #mixed #mixedworld #mixedreality #mixedrace #mixedcommunity #mixedidentity #mixed https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceb__j0jSU1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

thank you @torriesorge for this message!! "Have you felt “less than”because one of your parents is White? My mom is White. My dad was Afro-Puerto Rican. Mom raised me. I look like Dad. I’m a rich, beautiful combination of both of them. The fact that my mom is White doesn’t make me less Mixed. And it doesn’t diminish the racism, microaggressions, and countless experiences I’ve had to learn to navigate. Often, as Mixed individuals, we’re made to feel like our experiences aren’t as significant or our ethnicity is not enough when one of our parents is White. Friend, let me tell you…that’s a lie! Your experiences matter. Your story matters. You don’t have to hide part of you anymore! Let that shame fall so you can embrace ALL of who you were created to be. Do you have a White parent? I’d love to hear your Mixed experience. Drop it in the comments! Let’s encourage one other! Follow @torriesorge for more encouragement, resources & stories. #mixed #mixedrace #mixedinamerica #mixedcommunity #mixedidentity #mixedgirlproblems #browngirl #multiculturalfamily #multicultural #biracial #bipoc #interracial #identity #multiethnic #diversity #mixedinamerica #interracialparent #interracialfamily #parentingsupport #parentingadvice #parentingresource https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2_xbsu1uj/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Scholarly perspectives on the mixed race experience"

That moment when you're multiracial, but your races won't accept you because you aren't purely that race and/or you just won't "pick a side" 🥴🙄

“Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity” -Robert Alan.

What are your thoughts on the way that Meghan Markle is being perceived in the media?

How does it make you feel?

Remember, you can acknowledge your privilege and still express your pain and trauma.

Struggle is not a competition.

Period.

An article on the mixed race experience. Can you relate?

You are NOT an "other"

**MIXED COMMUNITY PAGE**

If you need a community who you can relate to or are simply looking to expand your circle, I recommend following Mixed in America on Instagram. They might have a Facebook as well, but I don't have an account so I'm not 100% 🤎
